Standard zoom lens for versatile use

Get the shot you want with this everyday lens that offers a range of focal lengths to meet the majority of your photographic needs.

70-200mm focal length

This versatile, long-range zoom lens covers a broad range, enabling you to capture a perfect image from various distances.

f/2.8 maximum aperture

Creates sharp, detailed images with shallow depth of field and softly blurred background. Performs best in moderate-to-bright light settings or outdoors on overcast days.

Outstanding Optical Performance with Consistent f/2.8 Maximum Aperture

By taking advantage of the large diameter RF mount and short back focus, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z is able to achieve a maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout its entire zoom range. This enables you to continuously shoot up to the frequently used 200mm without switching lenses, opening a world of possibilities for both photo and movie shooting. But, why stop there when we don’t have to?

This new lens is compatible with both RF1.4x and RF2.0x Extenders for even more range of 280mm and 400mm respectively.

Supports Optional Canon Power Zoom Adapters

The RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z crosses the worlds of photography and movies. The optional Power Zoom Adapters PZ-E2 and PZ-E2B enable smooth, high-precision zoom control during movie shooting, that can even be operating remotely with the Canon Camera Connect and EOS Utility apps. Plus, attachment and detaching can be managed without the use of a special tool.

The Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E2B comes equipped with a 20-pin port for compatibility with cinema or broadcast lens accessories such as the Digital Zoom Demand ZSD-300D or the Digital Focus Demand FPD-400D. This lens and Power Zoom Adapter combination makes unassisted single-person video shooting operation easy and within reach.

Eleven Aperture Blades for Rich Bokeh

With eleven aperture blades and a large f/2.8 aperture, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z produces a beautiful, almost circular bokeh effect — even when stopped-down, thanks to an 11-blade aperture. The wide aperture also allows for faster shutter speeds in low light situations and helps prevent subject blurs.

Iris Ring for Precise Lens Aperture Control

The RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z is equipped with an iris ring (for aperture control).  This allows videographers and photographers to manually control exposure adjustment and the degree of background blur while shooting, with click-less, smooth operation — similar to the operability in a cinema lens.

Close-focusing of 1.6 ft., Max. Magnification 0.2x

With a minimum focusing distance of approximately 1.6 ft./0.49m, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z lens helps you get close to your subjects. The maximum magnification of 0.3x at 200mm allows you to capture subtle details more expansively and clearly.

Focus shifts during zooming are minimal — plus, it supports focus breathing correction3, in which the camera digitally corrects for changes in angle of view caused by focus movement during video recording, especially during closeup shooting.

Optical Image Stabilization

For consistently sharp results, the RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z features built-in optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up to 5.5 stops of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R-series camera that has In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 7.5 stops of correction4 at the center of the image.

This means more reliable handheld performance and clear detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or slow your shutter speed. Additionally, an IS Mode switch is available for quickly switching between the three IS Modes available. Mode 1 for capturing stationary subjects correcting shake in all directions, Mode 2 for panning with moving subjects correcting shake only in one direction.

Mode 3 for irregularly moving subjects where IS calculations start when the shutter button is pressed halfway but the stabilization is only activated when fully pressing the shutter button – making it easier to follow the subject.

Nano USM maintains focus while zooming

The RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z Features a focus drive system with two nano USM motors, powering both the autofocus unit, and a “floating” optics assembly which move independently to ensure maximum image quality. Nano USM motors provides quiet and smooth AF, especially useful during movie recording. In addition, the Nano USM maintains focus while zooming to suppress aberration fluctuations during high-speed burst or movie shooting.
